Well, I'm hoping since they took the time and expense to become a paid HoFo advertiser/sponsored member, that they will come up with something good to really compete with all of the increased competition!

It's almost the end of the month and still nothing new announced from PT. I just checked their site and the family plans are GONE... I have received no communication from them that they were doing this which is NOT cool.

Hoping they will announce their new products SOON and at least match Red Pocket's annual offerings (500/500/5000 for $99 a year and the plan with 1 gig just above that.) If not I guess we'll move all phones to RP..

Yeah. Also, it's Tuesday afternoon. A few more hours and it will no longer be considered early this week (after stating "early next week" last week)!

Your plans were and have been grandfathered, thus no changes to your account were made.

I also don't see Visual Voicemail on my iPhone SE. I recently deactivated voicemail through PureTalk, but in the event I want to reactivate, it would be nice to have the Visual Voicemail capability rather than the old-fashioned having to call in for messages. Is that something that would require a new sim card? My account was activated in June of 2016.

No - your SIM should be good. You just need to call 611 or email [email protected] and they can turn it on for you. We are working to have this feature managed in the customer portal.

Glad to have you as a customer. We don't currently have the wifi calling feature available. We have reached out to our carrier to see if we can get this feature for you and all our customers. Shoot me an email at [email protected] with your account info. This way I can keep you posted on when/if this feature will be active for use.

That being said we are a certified Apple carrier! iPhone MMS, visual voicemail, and hot spot features work with our service.

Thanks!

Is hotspot (tethering) permitted on Android phones too, or just iPhones?
